like "mark as unread" in mail: an agent you have seen (idle) becomes done
again, last among done agents of its importance, with no sound or
notification. it stays done until you come back to it: leave its tmux
window and return, or jump to it. marked while you look at it, it holds
until you look away (`held`); a new turn clears it. only idle agents can
be marked.
- daemon: `pane.mark_unread` on the hook socket; the watcher applies it
after the tick's observations (mark_unread, advance's hold rule).
- `dingger unread [--pane]`: refuses done, working, blocked, and panes
without an agent; returns once the agent shows as done.
- pi: /unread (refused while the agent works or is blocked).
- panel: right-click an idle agent in the full list, "Mark as unread".
- search: ⌘U or right-click marks the selected idle agent; the footer
offers ⌘U when it applies; search stays open.
tests: unit (hold, jump, new turn, idle only), e2e step 22 (queue
position, hold, look away and back, jump, refusals, no sound, menu, the
extension), pi-live in real pi 1.4 (a mark, not a turn: an unknown
command would also end done), swift selftest (menu only for idle, footer).

the pi extension (herdr's protocol) waits for a reply line and sends a
report again after 0.5 s without one; dingger never replied. every report
arrived twice and took about 2 s, delaying the next one (the live log: 196
of 400 reports repeated the previous one, 0.49 s later). the daemon now
answers each line with {"ok":true}; senders that do not read replies
(dingger poke, importance, the claude hook) are unaffected.
e2e step 21: one report, done in 0.38 s; without replies, two, 2.08 s.

within a status, more important agents are listed first, and so jumped to
first; status stays first. a high agent shows a bold ! before its name, a
low agent's name is lightly dimmed with "low" on its second line, and it
makes no sound (it still notifies and waits in line).
in pi, /importance high|normal|low (completes the levels; none once one is
typed out, so Enter runs it). the extension saves it in the session as a
custom entry (dingger-importance), so /reload, restarts, /resume and
restore bring it back; /new starts at normal. it shows a level other than
normal in pi's footer, emits dingger:importance { level } for other
extensions, and sends it with every report. for other agents, `dingger
importance [level] [--pane]`; it refuses a pi that reports itself, whose
saved level would win.
the daemon stays the one writer of pane state: it writes
@dingger_importance (unset for normal), which goes with the agent and
survives a daemon restart. `dingger status` marks high and low.
tests: e2e step 21 (order, the option, no sound for low, the menu bar,
the command, the extension through a harness that now matches pi's
extension API), a DINGGER_SOUND seam so sounds are observable, and a
status-line check that read the counts once (flaky) now polls.
pi-live: /importance in real pi 1.4, its footer and session entry, and the
level after a restore; every pi there now uses the test's agent directory
(a restored pi read the user's). negative controls fail each part.

`dingger install claude` adds a SessionStart hook to Claude's settings
(every other key and hook kept, in order; the original backed up; written
through a symlink; installing again changes nothing). The hook is
`dingger hook claude`: it reports the session's transcript for its tmux
pane, prints nothing (Claude adds SessionStart output to the conversation)
and always exits 0. Claude's state still comes from its screen.
restore types `claude --resume <id>` in the directory the session ran in
(elsewhere, Claude moves the conversation there). it resumes an agent only
when its session file exists: a Claude session that never got a message
has no transcript, and `--resume` fails ("No conversation found"). the
snapshot now keeps an agent's command line too, so such a pane gets it
retyped instead of nothing.
- the hook receiver takes a report without a state: only the session.
- a report that arrives after the watcher listed the panes is not dropped
as "agent gone": Claude reports once, as it starts.
- serde_json preserve_order (indexmap is already a dependency, via toml).
e2e step 18: install against a settings file like a real one, a fake
claude running the exact installed hook command, resume by id, retype
without a transcript, the resumed agent reporting again. a server that
restore starts now gets the test's plain shells: it got the user's login
shell, whose profile put the real claude first, which started (stuck at
its trust dialog) during development. every test restore now checks that
no real pi or claude runs in a test pane.

- the pi extension reports its session file; the daemon keeps it in the
pane option @agent_session, and snapshots carry it. restore runs
`pi --session <file>` in the rebuilt pane, one agent every 0.5s, then
reports which agents run and which were interrupted mid-turn.
- other panes: the command line running in them is typed at the new
prompt but not run. exactly as typed with the zsh hook (dingger install
zsh: preexec/precmd keep @dingger_cmd), else the foreground program's
exact argv from the kernel (KERN_PROCARGS2), shell-quoted.
- "at a prompt" is the pane's own shell owning the terminal's foreground
process group, not a name check: `sh -c ...` is a running program.
- an agent or command that exits keeps its place in snapshots for 60s, so
a shutdown that stops programs before tmux still restores them.
- typing waits for each new prompt (text typed earlier echoes twice).
e2e step 16 covers resume with a session path containing a space, the
interrupted report, an agent that exits just before the server dies, a
quoted command retyped not run, and the hook's text; dropping the grace
period, judging prompts by name, running retyped commands, or not storing
the session reference each fail it. the test's fake pi is guarded so a
real pi never starts.

the daemon saves the tmux layout when it changes: sessions, windows
(index, name, automatic-rename, layout, size, zoom, active), and panes
(directory, active, agent). a new history file for layout changes, a
rewrite for details, the last 50 kept, nothing saved while tmux is down.
when a different server runs (or none), the old server's last snapshot is
pinned as the restore candidate before the new server's snapshots start.
dingger restore rebuilds missing sessions by tmux id: panes split from the
newest so they keep their order, the saved layout applied at the saved
size, then the size released so windows follow clients again. a bare
session of the same name (a terminal's `new-session -As 0`) is replaced,
its clients switched over first; used sessions are kept. --dry-run,
--list, --from, --session.
e2e step 16 kills a server with a client attached like ghostty's, restarts
it, restores, and compares every window and pane; splitting the wrong
pane, not replacing bare sessions, not pinning, or keeping the saved size
each fail it. e2e keeps its state in its temp dir.

the extension asked tmux for "the current pane", which resolves to the
session's active pane, not the pane pi runs in, so agents in background
windows reported their state onto another pane. tmux sets TMUX_PANE for
every process it starts in a pane; use it.
e2e step 12 loads the shipped extension with a fake pi from a pane that
is not its session's active pane and asserts the report lands there; it
fails against the previous extension. hook reports log at info again.

the seen logic was inverted: first observations were marked done and real
completions idle, so the menu showed teal for agents that did nothing and
green for agents that finished, and attending changed nothing visible.
- watcher::advance is herdr's apply_pane_state_change + mark_active_tab_seen
as a pure function, unit-tested against herdr's own cases; attendance is
window-level like herdr's active tab
- hook reports are events applied in order, so a turn shorter than a poll is
still a completion
- event-driven: hook reports, dingger focus, and tmux focus hooks wake the
watcher; notifications are delivered off-thread (the macos call blocked
ticks for 2+ seconds) after the pane options are written
- all per-pane state persists in tmux pane options, so restarts and deploys
lose nothing, including the authoritative hook state
- every click goes through dingger focus: the menu bar shells out to it and
the status-line binding runs it; it picks the right client, skips the
window already shown, and activates the terminal app hosting the client
- the ready queue is ordered like the menu (blocked first, then oldest done)
- menu bar and tmux segment render herdr's symbols in herdr's palette
- tests/e2e.sh: 60 assertions against an isolated tmux server with a real
client, a 30s poll interval, and a slow fake notifier

the design panel's monochrome template rendering made every row look
alike; restore herdr's agent-panel visual language - green ready, yellow
working, red blocked, filled when unseen in the queue. the tmux segment
moves left of the clock so it is visible at a glance; the status item
logs what it observes for diagnosis.
